And now the Res Gestae is truly a "thing accom- 
plished." 

In it we have made some mention of the things ac- 
complished by our School in the Fifty Years since its 
inauguration, and we have tried to present a picture of 
the School of today. 

To the many whose enthusiastic support and hearty 
cooperation have made this book possible we are grateful. 

We realize that our work is incomplete, but we trust 
that we have improved our every opportunity, and that 
we have accomplished much in the short time at our 
disposal. 

What we have accomplished is before you ; if you are 
pleased with it, we are satisfied.

In writing this preface to the mass of facts and fancies put together 
by the George Washington University Law School under the broad title 
Res Gestae, I claim as free a hand, as to matter and manner, as did 
Laurence Sterne who, out of mere whim, planted the preface to Tristram 
Shandy deep down in the body of the work, in defiance of settled custom. 

The title Res Gestae is not a vagary to be idly handled by me who am 
drawn to it by a strong bond of sentiment, for it stands forth as the 
symbol of a school on which my aspiration and my affection were centered 
for more than a quarter of a century during which I labored to earn 
honourable discharge from the debt which, according to Lord Bacon, I 
owed my profession, and from which, he tells us further, an acquittance 
can be had "if a man be able to visit and strengthen the roots and founda- 
tion of the science itself." I had the opportunity and trust I improved 
it. Certainly there is great satisfaction in the fact that I have been an 
agency in reflecting on thousands of minds what Lord Coke calls the 
gladsome light of jurisprudence. Those upon whom this light has fallen 
are scattered over the country and some of them are reflecting much 
honour on their Alma Mater. 

The most diligent and indefatigable law student I have ever met was 
the late Christopher Columbus Langdell, indeed, I question whether as 
student and lawyer he had an equal in the country in point of acquisition. 
I was a fellow student of his in the Harvard Law School. His appearance 
stamped him as one of narrow circumstances, and his eyesight, bad at 
the best, was ultimately worn out by constant study and, particularly, by 
reading the Year Books and other black letter reports, so that blindness 
practically ended his career; but not before he had attained distinction 
and had revolutionized legal instruction by the case system. To commemo- 
rate all this Langdell Hall is the monument his Alma Mater has raised. 

When we contemplate this career of Langdell's how insignificant seem 
the acquisitions of the best of us who are striving to be lawyers ! 

But, remarkable as that career was, I should not recommend it to the 
student as an example to be followed. Such huge accumulations burden 
the mind and stifle originality of thought. Emerson said of some one that 
"his library overloaded his wit." Speaking of Macauley, Sir Henry Taylor 
said, "his memory had swamped his mind; lacking originality his talk 
lacked charm, though it was inexhaustible in the variety and extent of its 
information." And it is somewhere related that when Macaulay was a 
member of the British Cabinet he was never a ready adviser on extra- 
ordinary occasions when there was no precedent to guide, and one had 
to be created. 



Kl^^^- v./^l^#t^M jl: f9|5^j 



It is not surprising then that Langdell was not a success as a practis- 
ing lawyer. It rarely happens that the chair-philosopher is the one to 
figure in the drama of a lawsuit. 

Another prodigy of legal attainment was a dear friend of mine, I 
refer to the late William Green of Richmond, Va. He was, I make bold 
to say, without a peer in this Country or England either. The instance 
of Mr. Green was made the more remarkable by his extensive acquisitions 
in the field of general literature and by the wonderful memory which ren- 
dered readily accessible that wealth of learning. 

I should regret to have my high estimate of these two luminaries of 
the law attributed to friendly exaggeration. Far from it in the case of 
Langdell, who was a mere acquaintance, and in the case of Green I have 
the strong support of that able and accomplished lawyer, scholar and gen- 
tleman, the late Mr. John William Wallace of Philadelphia, formerly the 
Reporter of the Supreme Court of the United States. Writing to me, some 
years ago, Mr. Wallace says of Mr. Green : "I have known him for more, 
I think, than a quarter of a century, and for much of the time was in 
frequent correspondence with him. His learning in the law surpassed 
that of any man I ever knew. Sergt. Manning in England, who was 
accounted the most learned man at the British bar, when I was abroad, 
had, I think, less." 

To borrow an expression of Bulwer's, Mr. Green shivered on the edge 
of a great book for forty years. The incomplete manuscript which he 
left represented vast labour and learning and had the lamentable fate of 
destruction by accidental fire. Had the work been completed, it would 
have been, beyond doubt, a notable boon to the jurisprudence of England 
and America : — 

"And thus the native hue of resolution 
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought ; 
And enterprises of great pith and moment. 
With this regard, their currents turn awry. 
And lose the name of action."

ATTENDED the Columbian University Law School 
from 1870 to 1872, in which year I graduated. 
1870 stands out very clearly in my memory, being 
vividly impressed upon my youthful imagination 
by the bitter conflict between France and Ger- 
many which was from beginning to end one series 
of tragedies for France. It has recurred to me 
many times during the present far more wide- 
spread struggle in which, however, the forces are 
more equally matched. 

The Law School at that time was held in the 
Columbian Law Building on Fifth Street, opposite 
the City Hall, the site of which is now occupied 
by the modern office building bearing the same 
name. The recitation hall was a spacious room 
on the second floor. There were small tables scattered at no very regular 
intervals about the room, around which the students were grouped accord- 
ing to their inclinations. 

The regular professors were John C. Kennedy and Samuel Tyler. 
There were, however, lectures given, on which if I remember rightly there 
were no examinations, by Ex-Senator Ira Harris of Albany on Constitu- 
tional Law, and by Dr. John Ordronaux, of New York, on Medical Juris- 
prudence. 

Prof. Kennedy instructed the junior class and Prof. Tyler the senior. 
The seniors, however, reviewed the work of the junior year, so that the 
classes of Prof. Kennedy were attended by the whole school. 

Among the text books used in the junior class were Blackstone's Com- 
mentaries, Williams on Real Property, Williams on Personal Property and 
Chitty on Contracts. 

Prof. Kennedy read his lecture in the main from manuscript, with 
probably but little variation from year to year. His style was clear and 
his lectures in the main a condensation of the text books used in the class, 
with original comments of his own. He seldom departed from the imper- 
sonal style of address and would have regarded a flight of imagination or 
oratory as foreign to the purposes of the school. 

Among the text books used in the senior class were Stephen on Plead- 
ing, edited by Prof. Tyler himself (the edition being, I believe, still in use), 
Starkie on Evidence, and Adams' Equity. 

Prof. Tyler's methods were about as different from Prof. Kennedy's as 
can well be imagined. His style was quite rhetorical, and his notes were 
freely departed from. His exposition of the law was interspersed with 
many interesting anecdotes of his own practice and reminiscences of the 
bar of his native city of Frederick, Md. Chief Justice Taney who had 
died only a few years before had been his friend and he had recently 
written his life, and the Chief Justice held a prominent place among the 
characters thus commemorated. The students in his classes frequently 
expressed their applause in quite a boisterous manner, something which 



would not have been thought of in Prof. Kennedy's more sedate classes. 
Some times their conduct would encourage Prof. Tyler to go on with his 
reminiscences to a much greater length than he had originally intended, 
thus cutting off the length of the "quiz," which was not a bad thing for 
those who had come to the recitation ill-prepared. 

The questions were quite searching in both classes, and the marking 
of the students by the professors a model of fairness, though looking at it 
from this length of time I cannot help thinking that any errors committed 
were decidedly on the side of generosity to the students. 

The style of instruction was based entirely upon the use of text books. 
As will be seen by the titles I have given the works used were in the main 
English. 

The methods of the present day based on the case system are doubt- 
less more successful and exercise the student's original powers to 
a higher degree. 

The Anglo-American system of law looks to adjudicated cases as the 
primary authority. It is well described by Tennyson in his poem, Aylmer's 
Field, where he describes his hero as 

"Mastering the lawless science of our law, 
That codeless myriad of precedent, 
That wilderness of single instances, 
Through which a few by wit or fortune led, 
May beat a pathway out to wealth and fame." 

It is well, therefore, that at the present day the student of law goes 
direct to its source rather than to text books generally of meager author- 
ity. At the same time I cannot help wishing that there were more reading 
of the great text books, particularly Blackstone's Commentaries. This 
great work, as shown by its preface, was primarily written not for those 
who wished to become professional lawyers, but for gentlemen attending 
the University of Oxford who might be called upon as justices-of-the-peace, 
or otherwise, to exercise some knowledge of the laws of England. Its great 
merit is its wonderful style, which has rarely, if ever, been equalled in 
any other law book published. While it is true, that a good part of it 
was never applicable to this country and a large additional share is obsolete 
everywhere, a considerable proportion of it is as true today as when it 
was published. 

A large part of my own professional work deals with the construc- 
tion of statutes and I do not know where to look for such an admirable 
statement of the fundamental rules of statutory construction as are given 
by Blackstone. I frequently to this day cite them in the courts and find 
them always received with the highest respect. 

The methods of the professors of my day while not equal to those 
of the present day were fundamentally sound, and a large number of lavv- 
yers who studied under them look back with pleasure and gratitude to their 
instruction as a sound laying of the foundation in the main principles 
of the law.

OLUMBIAN College, in common with Harvard, 
Yale, Princeton and other important schools, owed 
its existence to the efforts of an educated ministry. 
As early as 1817, Rev. Luther Rice commenced 
activities which in 1821 were culminated in the 
founding of the College and the granting of its 
charter by Congress and President Monroe. Prior 
to the opening, representatives of the College 
visited the higher seats of learning at Glasgow, 
Edinburgh, Berlin, Vienna, Rome, Naples, Oxford, 
Cambridge, Geneva and other cities, and the Col- 
lege, when organized, was broad and generous in 
its principles. It had the warm commendation 
of President Monroe, John Quincy Adams, John C. 
Calhoun, and other celebrities. Thus in the be- 
ginning its ideals were such that it received the encouragement of men 
of differing faiths and politics. 

The first commencement was held December 15, 1824, and among 
the dignitaries present were the President of the United States, General 
Lafayette and the Secretaries of State, War and Navy. The value of 
departments where the higher arts and sciences and philosophies could 
be studied in their own environments was rapidly recognized and in rapid 
succession the medical and law schools were established, and later the 
engineering school, the school of dentistry and the other departments were 
added. By founding Columbian College, a step was taken toward the 
realization of the dream of George Washington that the National Capital 
should be a great seat of learning. In 1904, the name Columbian College 
was changed to the George Washing- 
ton University with the permission of 
Congress, and at the present time, 
though it has passed through strife, 
adversity, and the struggles occas- 
sioned by inadequate endowments, 
the University stands for the best in 
education, and the spirit of its found- 
ers and subsequent officials has be- 
come thoroughly embued by all the 
departments of the University. 

The Law School had its origin in 
1826, and an ambitious program was 
then mapped out. Chief Justice 
Cranch of the Circuit Court of the 
United States was selected to head 
the new school. The plans, however, 
were never realized, for in 1827 finan- 
cial difficulties made the discon- 
tinuance of the department necessary, and it was not re-established until

1865. Counting time from 1865, it is the oldest law school in Washington, 
and as is becoming of age, it has set the example and led the way in 
progress, not only for schools of this city, but for the law schools of 
the country. 

This year, 1915, marks the fif- 
tieth anniversary of its organi- 
zation. Fifty years of noble 
work; fifty years spent in sur- 
mounting obstacles, in over- 
coming difficulties, in achieving 
success, furnish a vast amount of 
experience beneficial to the wel- 
fare of the school today. Fifty 
years of varying and changing 
whims of fortune have witnessed 
the erection of an institution 
wherein sound judgment and 
discretion are the corner stones. 
A vast army of alumni spreading 
and extending to the islands

Mater is teaching the science of law in a scholarly manner 

of the School hold positions of responsibility in the world; some are 

members of Congress, some are on the bench and the majority, of course, 

are practitioners before the various courts of the country; and by the 

aid of the training they received in the School, they have gained respect 

and renown in the high circles of their profession. 

From the date of its establishment until 1884, the Law School was 
housed in the Columbian Law Building in Fifth Street, and the School 
then removed to the University Building where it remained until 1899. 
From then until 1910, the Law School occupied a separate building which 
had been erected for it in H Street adjoining the University Building. In 
1910 when the University sufl'ered financial reverses, the property was sold 
and the two upper floors of the spacious and commodious New Masonic 
Temple, situated in the heart of Washington, were secured, and the School 
is there now comfortably located. 

The aim of the Law School has always been to keep abreast of the 
times, and advanced ideas, materially beneficial to the institution, have 
from time to time been added, and that which hindered or obstructed its 
progress has been eliminated. When first established the only degree 
granted by the Law School was the Bachelor of Law's degree which was 
given for two years' study. Later the value of a more extended course 
convinced the authorities of the wisdom of enlarging the scope of the 
curriculum, and in 1877 a graduate school leading to the degree of Master 
of Laws was added. George Washington Law School was the first school 
in the United States to establish such a course. The purpose was to train 
the students in the art of applying the principles of law in a practical 
manner, to the proceedings in the courts. In 1895, because of the peculiar 
advantages to be derived from a course of patent law taught in the city 
where the United States Patent Office is located, such a course was founded, 
and in 1898, upon the recommendation of the American Bar Association, 
the two-year course leading to the degree of Bachelor of Laws was 
extended to three years.

The year 1900 saw the formation of the Association of American Law 
Schools with George Washington as one of the charter members. Today 
this Association which includes forty-two of the leading schools of the 
country is doing much to promote the best interest of legal education 
in this country. 

This year the Law School stands sixth in enrollment among the 
American Association of Law Schools, and third with respect to increase 
in enrollment. 

The night school plan was abandoned in 1902, and it was arranged 
to hold classes in the early morning and late afternoon to give everyone an 
opportunity to attend classes without interfering with the hours of 
employment of students in the departments of the Government, or else 
where. In 1903 a system was adopted placing the more theoretical sub- 
jects under the charge of professors who could devote their entire time 
to their subjects, while the branches pertaining more to pleading and 
practice were placed under the supervision of successful attorneys of 
Washington, some of whom are serving on the bench. A further advance 
was made when a special course leading to the degree of Doctor of Juris- 
prudence was founded in 1905. 

Among the former members of the faculty are found names known 
throughout the realms of law, such Mr. Justice Strong, Mr. Justice Brewer 
and Mr. Justice Harlan, all former members of the Supreme Court of the 
United States; Hon. Hannis Taylor, Hon. Caleb Gushing, Hon. William A. 
Maury, Hon. H. St. George Tucker, Prof. William R. Vance, Prof. E. G. 
Lorenzen, and many others, brilliant and learned in their profession. 

This brief recital of the history and progress of the Law School, by 
the mere naming of the dates at which the institution was expanded, of 
course gives only a bare outline of the development of the School, which 
has ever labored to give a scientific exposition of the law. To- 
day the Law School offers better opportunities for students than 
for many years past. Because of its location at the seat of the Na- 
tional Government, and because 
of the addition of new profes- 
sors, a larger enrollment and 
consequent broadening of the 
scope of activities, the School 
presents advantages and attrac- 
tions unexcelled. 

The treatment of the various 
subjects has gained the favor of 
those competent to judge the 
merits of the system. The sub- 
jects of substantive law, consist- 
ing more of the principles and 
historic development of the law, 
are taught by skilled professors 
who devote their entire time to 

teaching and research. The ad- ^ _, 

jective law, that is the science ^ 

of applying the principles, is under the direction of judges and attorneys \ 

who are daily meeting and solving the problems presented for the student's ^ /^ ^^ _ 

investigation, . [,

The courses are arranged so that the first year the student's mind is led 
gradually to a precise way of thinking on legal matters; the second year 

of work shows him how to apply 
the law and gives him a wider 
view of the science, and in the 
third year he comes in contact 
with one of the best features of 
the entire course — the Moot 
Court. Here the student actually 
applies his law to the given 
cases. He draws up his plead- 
ings, gathers his evidence, pre- 
sents his cases before the courts, 
examines and cross-examines 
witnesses, points out the law 
in his favor and makes his 
arguments to the jury, or the 
Court as the case may be. The 
cases are pleaded and decided 

, just as if they were actual 

/}-,/-) :}c,\//c TT'oy/rrB cases in a real court, and 

if the student is not satisfied with the decision in the case, he has his 
remedy by way of appeal to the Court of Appeals. The Equity Rules of 
the Supreme Court of the United States and the Rules of the Supreme 
Court of the District of Columbia govern the procedure in the moot courts. 
At the present time one of the trial judges is on the bench of one of the 
District of Columbia courts, one of the appeal judges was formerly the 
Chief Justice of the United States Court of Claims, and the other judges 
are practicing attorneys of repute. The moot court as a method of instruc- 
tion originated at the Law School of the George Washington University, 
and it has been widely adopted in other schools of the country. 

Among the special attractions which Washington otfers especially to 
law students may be mentioned the Supreme Court of the United States 
where lawyers of national repute come to argue cases of great importance ; 
the Congress of the United States where our statesmen discuss questions 
of public importance; the Library of Congress in whose archive may be 
found books on nearly every known subject and which books are available 
to every one; and the historic surroundings of Washington and the city 
itself are so vitally associated with the progress and development of our 
country, that no one can live in Washington and not gain a wide knowl- 
edge and a liberal education concerning the political and economic growth 
of the nation.

1|?1*PSIS, your orator presents these 
facts, evidences of our exceptional 
worth and activity, serving to per- 
petuate in the records of the court 
the deeds of yesterday, illuminating 
the way and inspiring whomever 
may chance to follow: 

Our number was large, to wit, 
one hundred and thirteen when we 
entered the school with unformed 
ideas of the law, but bent on its pursuit. We found ourselves the 
recipients of much attention from the faculty whose earnestness in defining 
and following the "case system" was rewarded on our part by the pre- 
sentation of lengthy abstracts and wordy discussions. 

By midyear we had struck our stride, and with little difficulty passed 
the examinations. The contest then became one of endurance, but just 
to show that there might be bright spots on the way, we entertained 
ourselves and our instructors with a smoker, paving the way for closer 
acquaintance. And then we found that professors could talk on subjects 
other than law just like human beings. 

As a fitting sequal to our smoker came the first annual law school 
banquet, our class furnishing much musical talent and the song of the 
evening. 

Our second year showed fewer at roll-call, and those few much 
befogged, and in terrorem because of intricacies of Real Property, Plead- 
ing and Evidence. The abstracts of cases dwindled in size which may 
account for the corresponding havoc wrought by midyear examinations. 
Then we learned that the law of marking examinations is full, adequate 
and complete and Equity will not intervene even to correct a misspelled 
word. New desks thoughtfully provided, solved the problem of what to do 
with the case-book in your lap when called upon to recite. 

Our class not only helped to make the annual school dinner a success, 
but was active in the formation of the Legal Aid Society, the administra- 
tion of which soon passed into the hands of our class. We also strength- 
ened the intercollegiate debating teams. 

Even finals did not prevent one of us from entering and passing the 
bar examination. 

And now in our last year have we not seen one of our faculty elevated 
to be Dean, and have we not trained his new associates in the way in which 
they should go ? 

Moot court, our Wednesday afternoon "matinee" brought much 
amusement and developed any latent vdt or oratory that might exist. 
Some of us achieved a flow of eloquence rivalling that of a Fourth of July 
orator of the spread-eagle type. 

Again we met for a class dinner and by our antics made the Dean 
forget his dignity ; absque hoc, he was serious again when he made his few 
remarks! Soon came news that another precocious member of the class 
had gotten by the bar. 

Our annual dinner again forms the fitting climax of our course, intro- 
ducing us to our predecessors as the fiftieth class of our school duly entitled 
to stand as alumni. 

Wherefore in concluding your orator contends that the history of this 
exceptional and phenomenal class will not be complete nor will our just 
merits be recognized until we hear the deep intonations of the President 
of the University conferring on us our degrees "as with all the rights and 
privileges so with all the responsibilities pertaining thereto."

EPTEMBER twenty-fifth, Nineteen Hundred 
and Thirteen, was a day of great promise for 
the Law Department of the George Washing- 
ton University, for assembled there on that 
day the Class of Nineteen-Sixteen to learn 
the ways of the Goddess of Justice. 

This class was the largest that has enrolled 
in the Law Department of the University 
since the law course was increased to three 
years. Not only was its size notable — it was 
One Hundred and Fifty-five strong — but it 
seemed to be imbued with more than the 
usual amount of seriousness of purpose. As a result of this quality, when 
we reassembled in September of this year we found that we were one of 
the largest Junior Classes the Law Department has ever had. Between 
our Freshman and Junior years we lost but Fifty-two, approximately sixty 
per cent of whom failed in the Freshman finals. We have lost but two 
since the opening of this year. 

The first year of our life in the Law Department was one of real, hard 
work and many were the sacrifices we were called upon to make. We 
have no regrets except, perhaps, that we might have done even better in 
our first year's work and, of course, we regret the loss of the Fifty-two who 
were missing this year. 

The Class of Nineteen-Sixteen is a truly representative class of George 
Washington, over forty per cent being graduates of colleges, universities, 
or technical schools, and over seventy per cent having had one or more 
years' work in such institutions. The inference to be drawn from these 
facts is that the Junior Class is thoroughly equipped for the work before 
it. We doubt that any school of law in the country, other than those 
requiring more or less college work as a prerequisite to registration, can 
boast of such high percentages of college-trained students. They also indi- 
cate that the Law Department of George Washington is fast becoming a 
graduate school. 

Those of us w'ho have been successful thus far in our efforts have been 
spurred on to stronger endeavors by the results of the Junior Midyears. 
Much weeping, wailing and gnashing of teeth has been heard ; so too have 
many smiles of satisfied surprise been seen. 

As time goes on we begin to see the correlation of the various subjects 
of the law which we have thus far mastered, and no longer look upon the 
principles we have learned as a heterogeneous mass of arbitrary rules as 
at first they seemed. We are slowly weaving the principles governing 
rights and obligations and remedies into a fabric symbolic of Justice, and 
its beauty is enhanced just to the extent of our endeavors. 

The nearer completion the weaving of this fabric comes the stronger 
grows our belief with Richard Hooker, that 

"Of Law there can be no less acknowledged, than that her seat is the 
bosom of God, her voice the harmony of the world; all things in heaven 
and earth do her homage, the very least as feeling her care, and the great- 
est as not exempted from her power ; both Angels and men and creatures 
of what condition soever, though each in different sort and manner, yet all 
with uniform consent, admiring her as the mother of their peace and joy."

T WAS with no small degree of pride that we wit- 
nessed the ceremonies attendant to the opening 
of the school year on September 30 last. True, 
all the classes were represented but to the most 
of us it was the "getting together" of a class 
which has since distinguished itself as being one 
of, if not the, finest the college has ever known. 
Upon that occasion we were addressed by Rear 
Admiral Charles H. Stockton, Piesident of the 
University. Dean Fraser spoke on the plans of 
the coming year, and a word of greeting was 
spoken by Hon. H. B. F. McFarland representing 
the Board of Trustees. 

The Freshman Class wasted no time in proving 
to the entire University its intention of becoming 
one of the "live wires." Allowing only enough 
time to elapse to enable the members to become 
acquainted with one another, a class meeting 
was called to consider organizing formally and electing officers. After 
the balloting had ceased, the following class officers were announced: 
President, J. A. Osoinach ; Vice-President, W. C. Miller ; Secretary, Donald 
M. Earll; Treasurer, Albert Morris; and Class Editor, P. L. Collins. 

President Osoinach suggested that ere the school year come to a 
close, the class should indulge in a few social functions for the combined 
purposes of meeting the faculty in a different sphere from that of the 
classroom, and of becoming acquainted with one another in a social way, 
this being considered a most expedient method of promoting that much- 
desired class co-operation. Definite plans for a class function were neces- 
sarily deferred in order that our social events might not conflict with the 
semi-centenary exercises of the college. 

Mention of the class would not be complete without a word about 
our feminine contingent. We boast of the largest representation of the 
fair sex of any class to date, having in our midst, five future Portias. 

An examination of the enrollment of the class is most gratifying. 
At the beginning of the year we numbered 102. At the present time 
we have 144 members. Having such a large aggregation we must 
naturally look to the loss of a few of our number, but notwithstanding 
there have been fewer withdrawals from the class than from any class 
which has gone before us. 

We much regret each and every loss the class has suffered, but 
circumstances must govern the individual cases. Among the more prom- 
inent of those who found it necessary to leave the class was Mr. Gabe E. 
Parker, former Register of the United States Treasury. Mr. Parker 
had the honor and distinction of being appointed Chief of the civilized 
Indian tribes of North America. 

Through this narrative as a medium, the class is desirous of extend- 
ing publicly its most hearty appreciation of the efforts of the various 
professors in our behalf. We feel particularly fortunate in having 
without exception, we think the most thorough and efficient group of 
professors in their respective subjects that it would be possible to obtain. 
Realizing our limitations as a Freshman Class and the restrictions 
placed upon us in consequence, we must needs bring this little effort 
to a close with the final "WATCH US NEXT YEAR."

In the early spring of 1912 the class of 1911 held a reunion and 
business meeting to effect a permanent organization and to discuss plans 
for the formation of a Law School association. The plan was to organize 
an association different from the ordinary alumni association in having 
as informal an organization as possible, in admitting both students and 
graduates to membership, and in having somewhat different purposes. 
The result of the discussion was the appointment of a committee of the 
class to confer with members of other classes and to endeavor to effect 
an organization. 

The organization meeting was held in the Main Hall of the Law School 
on April 13, 1912, and was attended by thirty alumni and students, rep- 
resenting eighteen classes. The proposal to organize a Law School asso- 
ciation met with instant favor, and after considerable discussion of ways 
and means the Columbian-George Washington Law School Association ■was 
launched, the word Columbian being incorporated in its name because 
so many of the members received their degrees when the name of the 
University was the Columbian University. 

The first activity of the Association was the publication of the Law 



School Alumni Directory. This it was thought would be an impor- 
tant step toward the accomplishment of the purposes of the Association 
and would also be of practical use to graduates, especially the large pro- 
portion engaged in active practice. To inform the alumni fully as to the 
Association and to obtain information necessary for the publication of 
the Directory the Executive Committee sent out letters to every graduate 
whose address was known. 

The circulars met with a surprisingly gratifying response and as a 
result the membership of the Association grew from thirty to over four 
hundred. Information came in from all over the country and the com- 
pilation of it into a directory grew into a task of such magnitude that it 
was impossible to complete it until May, 1914, two years later. 

When published it not only proved to be a convenient "Who's Who 
among the Graduates of the Law School," but furnished an accurate record 
of the achievements in the legal profession, in politics, and in business of 
about twenty-two hundred living graduates in every state in the Union 
and in several foreign countries. One of the permanent activities of the 
Association will be the publication, probably every five years, of revised 
editions of the Alumni Directory. 

To supplement the Directory the Association publishes once each half 
year the "Columbian-George Washington Law School Association Bul- 
letin." Permanent features of the "Bulletin" will be news items about the 
Law School, items on legal education in general, news about the Univer- 
sity as a whole and personal news items as to alumni arranged by classes 
under the title "Class Notes." The Bulletin will be an important means 
of keeping graduates in touch with one another and with the Law School 
and of keeping the student body in touch with the graduates. The first 
issue, January, 1915, was necessarily an humble sheet of four small pages. 
It is planned, however, to develop it until it assumes the size and dignity 
of a magazine. 

The other activities of the Association have consisted of participation 
in the Law School Dnners, 1913 and 1914, and an annual meeting each 
spring for election of officers, transaction of business and a reunion. These 
meetings have been held at the University Club and have become a perma- 
n pnt f G3,tii rG 

In 1915 the social activities of the Association reach a culmination in 
the reunion to celebrate the Law School's Semi-Centennial. On April 30th 
the annual meeting will be held, to which all alumni will be invited. It 
will be held at one of the clubs, and will include a smoker and reunion. On 
the evening of May 1st, there will be a great dinner of Faculty, Alumni 
and Students at Rauschers, at which there will be speakers of national 
prominence. The Semi-Centennial celebration will also be the occasion 
of a number of class leunions. 

The Association's prospects for the future look exceptionally bright 
and its possibilities for service to the Law School and to both alumni and 
students almost without limit. The Executive Committee has aimed to 
make it different from the ordinary alumni association by trying to lay as 
much emphasis as was possible upon the idea that it was organized to be 
of assistance to its members as well as to the school. The Directory and 
Bulletin are examples of the endeavor to give each member some quid pro 
quo for his dues and support and this will be the policy in the future. 
The definite program includes the regular issue of the association publica- 
tions, the Directory and the Bulletin, and the holding of reunions and 
meetings. The organization will, however, be kept informal and it will 
be the constant endeavor of the Executive Committee to carry on its 
activities with a minimum of burden on the busy men who constitute the 
membership and a maximum of benefit to them and to the Law School.

HIS Society had its birth when under the 
direction of Prof. Everett Eraser on March 6, 
1914, a few students and alumni met and 
formed "The Legal Aid Society of the George 
Washington University Law School." 

The Society was organized with a two-fold 
purpose : First, to furnish free legal advice and 
assistance to worthy persons in need thereof 
who are unable to pay for the services of a 
lawyer and whose cases involve such small 
amounts as not to be financially worth the 
attention of the practitioner; and, second, to 
give the members of the Society experience in 
the application of the law to actual cases. By 
some the Society is fancifully called "The Legal Clinic." In that appella- 
tion there is a measure of truth, for the Society is endeavoring to do in 
the field of the law what the medical and dental clinics are doing in their 
respective fields. 

Membership in the Society is divided into two classes, active and 
associate. The active members are selected from the best students of 
the second and third year classes and of the postgraduate classes upon 
nominations made by the faculty upon a basis of scholarship. The selec- 
tion of active members from the second year class is made soon after the 
mid-year examinations. Associate members are elected from graduates 
of the Law School engaged in the general practice of law in the District 
of Columbia. They are elected, subject to their acceptance, for a period 
of one year, for the purpose of directing the trial of cases taken into the 
courts for adjustment. 

The office of the Society is in the office of the clerk of the moot court 
in the Law School. The active members in turn assume the duty of being 
in charge of the office, one member being assigned to duty each evening, 
except Sundays and legal holidays. The member in charge of the office 
receives all applicants and consults with them, and is responsible for the 
conduct of all cases coming in during his hours of oflSce. While most 
of the work is done by the active members, the affairs of the Society are 
directed by an executive committee which is composed of two student 
members, a faculty member, and an alumnus engaged in active practice 
in the District of Columbia. No legal action of any kind is permitted 
to be taken without the authorization of the executive committee. 

During the past year, the first year of the Society's existence, there 
were seventy-five applications for assistance. In several of these cases 
the applicants were advised to secure the services of a lawyer because 
the applicant was able to pay for such services. In nearly all the cases 
the Society was called upon to act in a merely advisory capacity. Two 
cases were taken to court under the direction of the Society, one to the 
Juvenile Court and one to the Municipal Court.

Debating Honor Society. 



Shirley Penrose Jones President 

Randolph Codman Shaw Secretary-Treasurer 



^>4» 




ELTA SIGMA RHO is the national debating 
fraternity, membership in which can be 
secured only through participation in inter- 
collegiate debate or oratory. The fraternity 
has chapters in many of the important uni- 
versities of the country, and has done much 
toward making debating a factor in school 
activities. 

Forensics in any school are a great asset to the institution, but especi- 
ally are they valuable to students who are preparing themselves for the 
legal profession. They teach a man the art of expression, rapid thinking, 
and the all-important element of self-confidence. Debating and oratory are 
sometimes confused. While they may become inseparably connected in 
the hands of one man, another individual may be master of one and stranger 
to the other. 

With a view to fostering intercollegiate debating and the proper use 
of oratory the local chapter of Delta Sigma Rho was established on May 
1, 1908. During the present year it has had no new members added for 
the reason that no intercollegiate debates have taken place. Since the 
last issue of the yearbook, however, John F. Webster, P. B. Morehouse 
and Shirley P. Jones have been initiated. The chapter is endeavoring 
to have advantageous arrangement completed so that next year the 
University will be able to meet the debating teams of the other universities 
of the East, as in former years. 

Professors Ferson, Van Vleck and Schreiber of our faculty are mem- 
bers of the fraternity, and the former, Prof. Ferson, has the distinction 
of having been the first National President of the fraternity. 

The fraternity is ready at all times to support and promote debating, 
and to aid in making forensics a permanent feature of the University.

One of the greatest assets of a Law School is a wide-awake debating 
society, and it is the proud boast of the Columbian Debating Society that 
it has been a factor in the Law School and the University "since the mem- 
ory of man runneth not to the contrary." Whenever a School team was 
chosen it was usually composed principally of Columbian men. Perhaps 
the most notable event in the history of the society occurred 
last year, when in January seven debaters were chosen from the 
Columbian Society to represent the University in its two debates with the 
University of Pennsylvania. This fact speaks for itself as to the char- 
acter of the training received in this society. During the same year a 
Columbian team defeated the University Congress, the old Needham 
Society, in a hotly contested debate. 

Although last year took with it such brilliant debaters as Brooks, J. F. 
Webster, Bookstaber, Seltzer and Cornell, yet this year brought such men 
as Smith, West, Cannon, H. Webster and other men who with what is left 
of the "Old Guard" promise to uphold Columbian in the future contests 
this year. The ability of some of the new material was shown in a recent 
debate with the University Congress, when Messrs. Smith, West and 
Morehouse secured a well-earned decision over their opponents. 

It was most unfortunate for all concerned that the University could 
not secure a series of interscholastic debates, however, Columbian debaters 
were not to be discouraged, and negotiations are being carried on for a 
debate with a society of Columbia University. Taken as a whole this year 
has been marked by the interest and enthusiasm manifested in the weekly 
debates and the marked increase in the membership over previous years. 
The weekly debates indulged in afford an opportunity for the inexperienced 
as well as the experienced. Under the three-minute rule each member is 
given a chance to speak on the question under discussion after the regular 
debate. It is in this way that many "diamonds in the rough" are dis- 
covered. In addition to the debating opportunities offered, parliamentary 
procedure is always observed, thus enabling the new member to become 
acquainted with the rules and regulations of such an organization.

For some years, debating was carried on by two organizations in the 
Law School, namely, the Columbian and Needham Debating Societies. 
Each year these societies met in three intersociety debates, from which 
honor men were chosen to represent the University in its intercollegiate 
aspirations. 

Two years ago, the members of the Needham Debating Society, after 
a long and interesting debate, agreed to convert the society into a Con- 
gress, whence the name, "University Congress." 

When this change was made, it was the belief of the members of 
the society, that it would extend the value of debate along a line of 
practical application, whereby it was possible for the students to obtain 
a practical knowledge of the workings of politics, its good and its evils. 
The constitution drawn up, provided for the election of a speaker, clerk, 
sergeant-at-arms, and leaders for the various factions in the House, the 
rules of procedure of the United States House of Representatives being 
the source of parliamentary control. Thus modeled after the House, the 
practice in practical debating is of inestimable value. 

During the past session, the men chosen in accordance with the con- 
stitution w^ere: Frank H. Hamack, Jr., of Minnesota, Speaker; Ralph J. 
Sterling of Ohio, Clerk; L. A. Merryman of Missouri, Sergeant-at-Arms ; 
J. S. Payne of Pennsylvania, Republican Leader, and Harold L. Brown of 
Iowa, Democratic Leader. Up to the present writing there has been one 
ihtersociety debate, which resulted in a victory for the representatives of 
the Columbian Debating Society. The team which represented the Uni- 
versity Congress was made up of the following men: Ralph J. Sterling, 
Rosser L. Hunter and Frank H. Hamack. The University Congress takes 
this opportunity to thank the Professors who so willingly consented to 
judge the debate, and also to extend a cordial invitation to the student 
body to be present at our meetings, announced each week in the Hatchet.

The Pyramid Honor Society has the distinction of being the only 
male honor society in the University. Drawing its members from the 
ranks of those who have participated in student activities, its purpose is 
to band together those undergraduates whose records in University interest 
have earned the honor of public recognition. In doing this the welfare 
of the University is promoted and a strong college spirit is fostered among 
its student body. There is a good deal of work for the organization; its 
field is large and its purpose broad, but considering the fact that it is 
only about five years old its progress has been remarkable. 

Since the society is directly dependent upon those interested in stu- 
dent activities for its members, it is necessary to continue those activities 
to assure its existence. Student enterprises should be continued, not only 
to justify the presence of an honor society, but to rejuvenate the Univer- 
sity. And at present this seems to be the trend of affairs. But an organ- 
ization like the Pyramid is rather a result than an impelling cause of 
student interest. 

Yet it is universally admitted that an honor society is a desirable and 
valuable asset to a University, giving it a distinctive and cosmopolitan air. 
The desirability of perpetuating an honor society, organized along the 
broad lines of University helpfulness, as the Pyramid Honor Society is, 
is only an added reason why every effort should be made to 
continue activities.

The interfraternity association, organized in the fall of 1911, is com- 
posed of thirteen delegates, one from each of the fraternities represented 
in George Washington. The purpose of the association as stated in its 
constitution is "to bring the fraternities of the University closer together 
and to promote student activities." In both of these purposes it has been 
highly successful. 

Meetings are held monthly at the various chapter houses, and this 
in itself promotes friendly relations among the chapters. While the 
association exercises no arbitrary authority over the chapters composing 
it, and by its constitution is forbidden to regulate "rushing," its decisions 
on matters of general fraternity interest have always been accepted by the 
various chapters, and its actions upheld by them. The faculty has also 
come to recognize the interfraternity association as the real representative 
of organized fraternalism within the University, — ^the ear and the mouth- 
piece, so to speak, of the fraternity element. 

One of the big events of the school year is the annual interfraternity 
smoker, which affords an unequalled opportunity for the Greek letter men 
to get thoroughly acquainted and give vent to a little college spirit. The 
truly important event in fraternity circles, however, is the annual prome- 
nade which is usually held shortly after the Easter holidays. 

It is no exaggeration to say that in furthering student activities, 
especially athletics, the interfraternity association has in recent years been 
perhaps the greatest single force in the University. Last year a basket 
ball league was organized and played through a successful season. This 
year an interfraternity bowling league has kept enthusiasm and friendly 
rivalry at a high pitch. No event of the annual indoor athletic meets 
arouses more interest than the interfraternity relay race. At the present 
writing the organization of an interfraternity base ball league and an 
interfraternity tennis tournament are under way.

THE LAW SCHOOL STOCK FARM. 
Tune: "Mr. Dooley." 

There was a man in Washington ; his name was Mr. A, 

He had a horse named Black Hawk and he fed it lots of hay; 

It lived out at Black Acre which belonged to Mr. B, 

Where also lived Gray Eagle which belonged to Mr. C. 

CHORUS: The Law School Stock Farm! The Law School 
Stock Farm! 
The greatest place that you have ever seen, 
Gray Eagle rambles and Black Hawk ambles, 
While Buttercup goes gamboling o'er the green ! 

Now Mr. B was seised in fee and he did lease to D 

A place they call White Acre which adjoined the farm, you see. 
He kept a cow called Buttercup and he was sued by A 

Because she trespassed and ate up all Black Hawk's oats and hay. 

— Chorus. 
Now it appeared that Mr. A went out one summer day 

To take his pet horse Black Hawk his apportionment of hay, 
And Mr. C says "Pardon me, would it do any harm 

To take these oats and give them to Gray Eagle at the farm?" 

— Chorus. 
But as poor Mr. A that day was just a trifle boozed 

He got the bran and oats and hay most tortiously confused. 
And Buttercup, she trespassed and she stole that grub away ; 

Oh, tell us, Mr. Eraser, does her milk belong to A? 

— Chorus.

We think it only just that we 
Should take a rap at the Faculty; 
And so below we have a song 
That may instruct and is not long.

No malice meant toward anyone, 
So let no passions riot run.
